"black Bird" (Spread Your Wing's)

Spread, your wings and soar on high, stretch forth beyond the particle's in the sky. Rest on a large branch, look down at the creature's of blacks and white's. Blackbird ain't its enough to make you cry. Crime soaring high, WHY- why Blackbird why? No one knows, no-one dare steps forth his best. NOoooo Black bird they're to busy pointing finger's, they rather listen to the voice of the confused "stranger". A voice that tells them, take prayers away from school's, take away their happiness, now the grave yards are full of young one's, some in jail, to never see success. Soar on Blackbird, fly high and don't dare sit to long. You see blackbird, the black's doesn't know the song and the whites want's to be left along. Spread your wings-my fowls of the air we all must share, as you fly blackbird, as you are trying to accept the lost and the found, spread your wings Blackbird, we're not all bad people's. Its just that we're too busy trying to tare each other down.
